Golf Tips for Increasing Distance:

After going to the section on equipment and looking at your club and ball characteristics, the next thing to do is work on your flexibility. The fitness section can give you great advice on how to do this.

The key to distance is in the resistance you can generate between your hips and shoulders. Larger shoulder to smaller hip turn will generate more distance. A simple way to start this is by making sure your left arm (right arm for lefties) stays straight on the way back. If your arm breaks you lose the coil effect. Only go back as far as you can with keeping the arm straight and work on your flexibility to get a bigger shoulder turn.

50 More Yards on Your Drives Guaranteed! Is This Guy Crazy?

Casting the club from the top can reduce distance amoung other things. Make sure you come slowly from the top and keep your wrist angle as long as possible, so you generate your speed at the bottom of the swing. I see too many people taking the club back really slow and then whipping it down from the top losing all their momentum before the get to the ball. Taking it back long is more important than slow. The irony of the golf swing is that you will hit it farther the slower you think you are swinging.
